Default Re: Selling DVDs on eBay....

Hi Dien,

Somehow I got to her home page (I think from here 'about me' page on ebaY) and she wrote that she gets them from publisher's overstocks, discontinued, etc...

SHe calls distributors and record lables to find out if they have any 'sitting' on a shelf then offers to buy them for a few pennies each...

Interesting, no?

Default Re: Interesting eBay technique!

Actually, Dave, I see it in another light.

If this guy is selling 83% success rate, someone simply needs to tell this guy that he needs to run more auctions!

Simple really, he should run a new 7 day auction every 3 days. If he has anough product to pull this off, he would be in that $10,000 category.

Hi Scott,

You're right about running more auctions... sometimes though running more auctions could reduce his closing ratio - he'd have to test it.

BTW- Yeah, I love DeepAnalysis and use it everyday. I hit my first $10,000 month on ebaY a few months ago and now regualrly do $5k - $10k/mo and I owe it to this program.

Best wishes,

Dave

Hi Scott,

I create turnkey Internet businesses and sell them on ebaY.

The last one I sold took me a couple of days to 'create' and I sold it on ebaY for $4,447.

The very first one I 'created' took me 5 days and I sold it for $8,875.

Here are a couple of my sold auctions (not complete, but to give you an idea of what I do):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1757233640

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1742331865

I've done that about a dozen times so far-- it's really pretty cool getting big chunks of cash like that all at once ;-)

I don't want to advertise the course on the forum, but I did create a course on exactly what I'm doing... if you're interested send me a private email so you can get more info...

Best wishes,

-Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for sharing the valuable info in this thread.

I've found these posts fascinating, illuminating, and rejuvenating! :)

Man, you've sure done well too - Congratulations! :)

Very useful info.... I haven't seen your course, but I'm sure it's pretty good if your posts here are any indication!

Default Daves my GURU GUY!

I have been reading anything Dave puts out since I saw his book on selling on Ebay. The only decent Ebay ebook I ever read. Dave is very generous with his information, in fact some of the reports he has given away have been the meatiest most informative stuff I have ever seen.
If you ever wanted a model of success to copy, follow this guy!
